General

Bassists are treated to legendary Gretsch sound courtesy of the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass II. This electric short-scale bears a neat single-cut body loaded with the satisfying growl of two single-coils crammed into mini-humbucker housings backed up by fuss-free tone controls and a three-way pickup switch. Since rosewood is now a protected species, Gretsch have selected the closest alternative and fitted the G2220 bass with a walnut fretboard, which enhances the sound with natural warmth and adds a light boost to the sonic definition.

The G2220 Electromatic Junior Jet Bass II: Solid, Light and Short-Scale

Compared to most single-cut basses, the basswood body of the Jet has a comfy, lightweight feel that's balanced out by the bolt-on maple neck and the nimble playability of a 12 inch fretboard radius and shorter 30.3 inch scale length. The mid-range rich acoustic foundation is captured with full and round warmth by the two Gretsch Single-Coil Bass pickups, which inject just enough definition, and a clean and articulate output, free of any unwanted buzz and hum.

Wrote the following about Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Junior Jet Bass II Torino Green Short-Scale Electric Bass Guitar
Ik kocht deze bas om na 27 jaar de draad weer op te pakken en om niet meteen veel centen meer te leggen voor de topmerken, heb ik de prijsbewustheid na zijn algemeen mooi ogende looks als criteria in acht genomen, ook nog eens de kans gekregen hem even vast te houden en de keuze was snel gemaakt. Korte snelle shortscale nek en klinkt prima in combinatie met de Fender 100 rumble die ik erbij kocht. Wel redelijk zwaar voor een kleintje maar je krijgt er dan ook geen alledaags uitziende bas voor in de plaats. Speelt vlotjes, drukke maar vlotte winkelservice, beleefd en aangenaam personeel waap je met vragen bij terecht kan. Wij rijden altijd van uit Antwerpen naar Goes, want daar is het véél aangenamer én open op zondag,Dat is toch gewoon perfect ?
